As soon as I saw "Mighty Car Mods", I knew what I was in for here.
I am a subscriber to their channel on youtube.
Focus on cars, with a bit of humor thrown in.

I get the feeling a lot of people in other nations wouldn't get the humor they use, but I like their stuff.
It's entertaining, and by the end of their shorter vids, you may have learned something new!

Hey Ozzie, I have a couple questions for you: what is that "P plate" they put on the Suzuki? Also, why the hell are BOV's illegal in Australia?

They can import cars for little to nothing, but a BOV is illegal......Ozzie, I too would like to know why they're illegal.

The "P" plate is for a probationary driver.
The first one you recieve is an "L" plate (Learner).
Learners are required to carry a fully licensed driver with them at all times, and have restrictions on the maximum speed they can travel.
Probationary drivers can drive alone, but still have restrictions, like the power of the car, no turbos allowed, no alcohol in your system etc.

BOVs are illegal if they vent to atmosphere. (That's not to say that no-one has them.... plenty of people do.... including myself :chuckle: )
If they are plumb back BOV, then that is ok.
Something to do with noise, non-standard parts, and possibility of venting fuel vapour/oil into the engine compartment, which could cause fire (Their theory, not mine)

This video makes me realize how stupid of an American I am and that I can't speak anything but cuss words in other languages...

Spanish doesn't count anymore, it is also english.

But I too wonder why it was 58 minutes long on youtube, and that it was a really good show.
